A good place to learn about the life of common people in ancient Greece🏛️

The Ancient Agora of Athens (Αρχαία Αγορά της Αθήνας) is located below the northwest slope of the Acropolis. It is an important archaeological site in the center of Athens, covering an area of ​​about 12 hectares. It was the political, commercial, social and religious center of Athens in ancient Greece. There are many attractions in the ruins, among which the following two are the most worth seeing: The Temple of Hephaestus (Ναός Ἡφαιστεῖον) is located on a hill northwest of the Agora of Ancient Athens. It was built in 449 BC and dedicated to the god of fire Hephaestus and the goddess Athena. It is the best-preserved ancient Greek temple in the ancient Athens Agora. The Stoa of Attalos (Στοά του Αττάλου) is located on the east side of the ancient Athens Agora and is one of the most conspicuous buildings in the Agora. The colonnade has two floors, about 116 meters long and 20 meters wide, supported by 21 columns on the outside. It is a colonnade building from the Hellenistic period, combining the Doric and Ionic styles, and has a very layered visual sense. There are many tourists visiting the ancient Athens Agora, so it is recommended that you buy tickets online in advance to save time queuing.
